Finding Common Ground?

People who think different faiths can find common ground are naive. That was a great statement from the Boston Bible Geeks blog. Of course you cannot find common ground between Christianity and other religions. Peple are very naive to think that. Please do read the link above as it's a great post. Here's the last part of it and do I ever agree with this,

Christianity is not another ethical framework to which humankind must comply in order to blessing after death. Christianity is not about following a great leader (Jesus) who came to show us the way. Jesus is the way (Jn. 14:6). Jesus is the one who lived the life we should have lived, and died the death we should have died. His sacrifice on our behalf is what releases us from the need to comply to another set of rules and human striving to reach God. Christian faith isn’t placed upon the hope that we got our theology right, or that our performance will bring us reward, or that we have a better worldview than others. Christian faith is placed in a person. Even if the commandments of each world religion were identical, we could never say they are the same, because in Christ, these commandments are already met. Christianity is the only faith where the “doing” is already done.
